Maritime Traffic Management

95 percent of all world trade is transported by ship, with limited alternatives. Gaining efficiency without compromising safety and the environment is vital to the world economy.

Securing the logistical chain

Maritime transport is a primary link in the global logistical chain. Not only are the world’s seas and waterways a transport highway, they are also a natural resource for food, raw materials and energy. Our Maritime Traffic Management solutions span a wide range to support authorities, shipping industries and service providers to ensure the safety, security and efficiency of transport over water. This goes hand in hand with preventing loss of life at sea and protection of the environment, for example our efforts to support sustainable shipping. To this end we provide solutions to manage vessel traffic, port and terminal operations, marine pilotage and perform coastal surveillance. Our Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) on board of ships and airplanes, as well as the supporting network on shore play an important role in this. Our pioneering spirit in the maritime domain started over thirty years ago, and it remains present to this day. Staying closely in touch with our customers and actively contributing to standards organisations gives us direction on where to innovate. Our solutions constantly evolve with the needs of the maritime world. We help our customers to stay ahead of maritime developments, so that they can better support the people and organisations that depend on them.
